Canti Di Prigionia, for chorus, two pianos, two harps and percussion (1938/1941)Premiered on Brussels Radio in 1940, weeks before the Nazi Invasion of Belgium.Dallapiccola himself wrote that the work was a direct response to Benito Mussolini's speech introducing race laws to Italy: "I should have liked to protest, but I was not so naive as to disregard the fact that, in a totalitarian regime, the individual is powerless. Only by means of music would I be able to express my indignation." Dallapiccola was to develop the material (and some of the musical ideas) in his 1948 opera "Il prigioniero", in which he further explores the ideas of personal as well as ideological imprisonment. |
